In the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers are working with health professionals to inform governments on how to formulate health strategies. In this study, we examine the correlation between environmental and climate indicators and COVID-19 outbreak in the top 10 most affected states of the USA. In doing so, PM, temperature, humidity, environmental quality index, and rainfall are included as crucial meteorological and environmental factors. Kendall and Spearman rank correlation coefficients, quantile regression, and log-linear negative binominal analysis are employed as an estimation strategy. The empirical estimates conclude that temperature, humidity, environmental quality index, PM, and rainfall are significant factors related to the COVID-19 pandemic in the top 10 most affected states of the USA. The empirical findings of the current study would serve as key policy input to mitigate the rapid spread of COVID-19 across the USA.
在当前新冠疫情的背景下,研究人员正与卫生专业人员合作,为政府提供有关如何制定卫生战略的信息。在本研究中,我们考察了美国受影响最严重的10个州的环境和气候指标与新冠疫情爆发之间的相关性。在此过程中,将颗粒物、温度、湿度、环境质量指数和降雨量作为关键的气象和环境因素纳入考量。采用肯德尔和斯皮尔曼等级相关系数、分位数回归以及对数线性负二项式分析作为估计策略。实证估计得出结论,温度、湿度、环境质量指数、颗粒物和降雨量是与美国受影响最严重的10个州的新冠疫情相关的重要因素。本研究的实证结果将作为关键的政策依据,以减缓新冠病毒在美国的快速传播。
